gethwid

Gets Volt's external user identifier.

Syntax

gethwid() -> string

Returns

TypeDescription
stringThe current user's opaque external identifier

Description

Despite its compatibility name, gethwid returns the external identifier stored by Volt's environment. Scripts should treat it as an opaque string and should not infer which hardware or account properties were used to produce it.

Example

local identifier = gethwid()
print("Volt identifier:", identifier)

Notes

  • Do not parse the identifier or assume a particular format
  • Avoid logging or transmitting it unless the user expects that behavior
